"Velouria"

"Velouria" is a song by the American alternative rock band Pixies, written and sung by the band's frontman Black Francis. The song was written as a love song rooted in Francis's experience with a girl associated with the Rosicrucians of Northern California. The lyrics also touched on Francis's interest in UFOs. Musically, the song features surf rock elements as well as a theremin part.

"Velouria" was released as the lead single from Bossanova in July 1990 and became the band's first Top 40 hit in the United Kingdom. The release was accompanied by a music video, featuring a short clip of the band in a quarry slowed down to fit the song's length. "Velouria" has since seen critical acclaim and has appeared on several compilations.

Background and lyrics

[edit]

Black Francis said of the lyrics to the song in an interview with SongFacts, "It's folklore based; the Rosicrucians of 1920s San Jose California had some pretty interesting ideas."[2] The lyrics allude to the mythical lost continent of Lemuria and the Rosicrucians' belief that its survivors lived beneath Mount Shasta.[2] Francis explained:

There are these people in California around San Jose, they call themselves Rosicrucians but they're not like the Rosicrucians of yesteryear. ... There's this lost continent of Lemuria, as in the lemurs from Madagascar sank in the pacific and all of the inhabitants took off and entered into that hollowed out mountain called Mount Shasta. ... And I had an experience there a few years ago with a girl that I met in those parts, who was one of these Lemurians. ... [It was named] "Velouria" because velour, she was kind of covered in fur. She was smooth and beautiful but it was like she was furry![3]

Producer Gil Norton claimed the song was also inspired by Francis's fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrials: "He was trying to write about space, a superhero-type person, and he had this material, velour, that he really liked the touch of, and that's where he got the 'Velouria' from, what she would wear."[4]

Music

[edit]

The song has been labeled as punk rock and surf rock by critics.[5] The song features extensive use of theremin, which the band brought in to excite Francis. Norton recalled, "We got a theremin player [Robert F. Brunner]. I found him in a musician's union book under 'theremin.' There were, like three of them in there."[4]

Release

[edit]

"Velouria" was released as the lead single from Pixies' third album, Bossanova. Of the song's B-sides, "I've Been Waiting for You" is a Neil Young cover sung by Kim Deal,[6] while "Make Believe" is a David Lovering-sung track written about Lovering's admitted "obsession" with US singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson.[7] The single was a moderate alternative success, reaching number four on the American alternative charts as well as number 28 in the UK, making it the band's first top 40 UK single.

In addition to appearing on Bossanova, the song appears on the influential 1990 Madchester compilation album Happy Daze, as well as Pixies compilations Death to the Pixies and Wave of Mutilation: Best of Pixies.

Video

[edit]

As "Velouria" was climbing up the UK Top 40, the band was offered a spot on Top of the Pops. However, a BBC rule stated that only singles with videos could be performed on the show. To counter this, a cheap video was made with the band being filmed running down a quarry.[8] Director Peter "Pinko" Fowler, according to Francis, "wanted to shoot us running toward him in [a] quarry" outside Manchester.[9] Guitarist Joey Santiago recalled:

[The director] held a camera, and we just ran towards it, and we thought we had enough footage. I think we were all probably high. And then we looked at it, and he goes, 'Is that all we have?' It's like, 'Man, well, we'll just slow it down then, until the song ends.' So that's what we did. We were making fun of the video too. We never really liked doing them, just because when you think of a song, you want your imagination to have its own thing going, you know?[10]

In the video, 23 seconds of footage (the time needed for the band members to reach the camera) is slowed in order to last for the duration of the song.[11] However, the effort in filming the video was in vain; Pixies did not play "Velouria" on Top of the Pops while the single was in the charts.[12]

An alternate version of the video, also filmed in the quarry, was unearthed during the compiling of the 30th edition of Bossanova.[9]

Critical reception

[edit]

"Velouria" has received critical acclaim since its release. Entertainment Weekly wrote in a 1990 review that the song is "intense" and "has both strangely shivering guitars and a melodic refrain that cascades over the surface of the music like waves crashing on a devastated beach."[13] The NME wrote during that same year, "By now most of us have heard 'Velouria'. Not as immediate as 'Gigantic' or 'Monkey Gone to Heaven' as far as singles go, but still a delightfully wiggy window to the world of Black Francis and the maddest thing to have been seen on Top of the Pops since the Wombles were Top Ten regulars."[14]

Retrospective writers have been similarly effusive in their praise. Blender called it "their greatest love song after 'Gigantic'",[15] while AllMusic wrote, "On the theremin-driven 'Velouria,' science fiction imagery displaces Francis' penchant for fetishistic lyrics; next to the token kinky song 'Down to the Well″s tired sound, it's a refreshing change."[16] Guitar.com ranked the song the band's 12th greatest guitar moment, writing, "[Francis] nailed this peculiar love song."[17] Rolling Stone readers voted the song the band's tenth best.[18]

In media

[edit]

"Velouria" is played in the AMC show Halt and Catch Fire during season 3, episode 9, 'NIM'.[19]

"Velouria" is a song by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released as the lead single from their third studio album Bossanova on July 16, 1990, through 4AD Records. Written and performed on lead vocals by the band's frontman Black Francis (also known as Frank Black), the track runs for 3:40 and features prominent surf rock influences alongside a distinctive theremin part played by Robert F. Brunner, evoking science fiction themes central to the song's lyrics about extraterrestrial encounters and affection. The marked a commercial breakthrough for Pixies, peaking at number 28 on the UK Singles Chart— their first entry into the Top 40 there— and reaching number 4 on the US Tracks chart. Bossanova, released on August 13, 1990, incorporated spacey and psychedelic elements inspired by Black Francis's interests in UFOs and astronomy, with "Velouria" serving as its opening highlight on the album's tracklist as the third . The track's low-fi production and dynamic quiet-loud structure exemplify Pixies' signature sound, which influenced numerous acts in the 1990s. An official music video, directed by Peter Fowler, depicts the band performing amid quarry landscapes in , , and was notable for its spontaneous, budget-conscious style that aligned with the band's indie ethos. "Velouria" has since been covered by artists including on their 1999 tribute album Where Is My Mind? A Tribute to the Pixies, underscoring its enduring legacy in .

Background

Writing and inspiration

"Velouria" draws inspiration from the Rosicrucian Order's esoteric literature, including accounts of the lost continent of that had sunk beneath the , with its surviving inhabitants residing in a hollow . This mythology, rooted in early 20th-century Rosicrucian publications, provided the conceptual foundation for the track's otherworldly narrative. Black Francis described the song as a to his ex-wife Jean, his muse, incorporating a name derived from "" evoking a fetishistic, catwoman-like image. The song was written during the 1989-1990 sessions for the Pixies' album Bossanova, as drew from his longstanding fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena, which had captivated him since childhood. This interest stemmed from a reported UFO sighting over his family's home in 1965, witnessed by his mother, fueling a lifelong obsession that permeated much of the band's work during this period. For "Velouria," intentionally merged these sci-fi and esoteric elements with the structure of a conventional , creating a surreal blend that echoed the Pixies' broader thematic explorations.

Lyrics

"Velouria" follows a straightforward verse-chorus structure, characterized by two verses, a repeating chorus, and a bridge that builds to a climactic repetition of the hook "My Velouria." The song opens with a surreal first verse evoking escapism and transcendence: "Hold my head / We'll trampoline / Finally through the roof / On to somewhere near / And far in time." This imagery suggests a dreamlike journey, blending the immediate and the distant, setting a tone of otherworldly adventure centered on the titular character. The chorus introduces Velouria directly, portraying her through enigmatic phrases: "Velouria / Her covering traveling career / She can really move / Velouria / Her covering traveling career / She can really move / Oh ." Here, "covering traveling career" plays on puns involving —a plush fabric—implying Velouria's smooth, mobile allure, while "velveteen" evokes a soft, artificial texture that ties into themes of fabricated or illusory charm. The repetition emphasizes adoration and fixation, with the bridge shifting to amnesia and loss: "Later when you clear your head / Later when you're good and dead / You won't remember this room / You won't remember this house / You won't remember this land / You won't remember your name." This culminates in the insistent "My Velouria," underscoring possessive longing amid forgetting. The full , as released on the 1990 album Bossanova, are as follows:
Hold my head
We'll trampoline
Finally through the roof (Finally through the roof)
On to somewhere near
And far in time Velouria
Her covering traveling career
She can really move Velouria
Her covering traveling career
She can really move Oh
Oh
My Velouria Later when you clear your head
Later when you're good and dead
You won't remember this room
You won't remember this house
You won't remember this land
You won't remember your name My Velouria
My Velouria
My Velouria Later when you clear your head
Later when you're good and dead
You won't remember this room
You won't remember this house
You won't remember this land
You won't remember your name My Velouria
My Velouria
My Velouria
Thematically, "Velouria" functions as a love song infused with occult and lost continent motifs, particularly drawing from the mythical Lemuria—a sunken land whose survivors are said to dwell beneath California's Mount Shasta. The name "Velouria" merges "velour" with "Lemuria," symbolizing a seductive, ethereal figure from this hidden realm, blending romantic yearning with sci-fi folklore. The lyrics reflect influences from Rosicrucian beliefs in esoteric lore and science fiction elements, evoking a hypnotic, transient beauty tied to mobility and mystery.

Composition

Music and arrangement

"Velouria" is written in the key of and maintains a of 125 beats per minute, fusing the raw energy of with the reverb-drenched twang of surf rock. This combination creates a propulsive, upbeat track that exemplifies the Pixies' signature dynamic shifts between quiet verses and explosive choruses. A standout feature is the prominent theremin solo performed by session musician Robert F. Brunner, which introduces an eerie, wavering tone reminiscent of 1950s and 1960s soundtracks. The instrument's use draws from 1960s traditions, particularly ' innovative application of in tracks like "," enhancing the song's cosmic and nostalgic vibe. The arrangement centers on a driving guitar riff crafted by , underpinned by Kim Deal's steady bass lines, David Lovering's crisp drumming, and Black Francis's yelping vocals that alternate between hushed introspection and full-throated intensity. This structure highlights the band's ability to layer tension and release, with the weaving through the mix to amplify the track's surreal, spacey atmosphere that loosely ties to the lyrics' dreamlike imagery.

Recording

The recording of "Velouria" took place in spring 1990 as part of the sessions for the Pixies' third studio album, Bossanova, spanning multiple studios in and . Initial tracking began at Cherokee Studios in Hollywood in February 1990, but the process was hampered by radio interference, limiting effective recording hours after 6 p.m. and prompting a relocation to other facilities, including Aire LA Studios for guitar overdubs, for completing the main body of work, and Hansa Ton Studios in for final touches on select tracks during a tour break. Produced by Gil Norton, who had previously helmed the band's Doolittle album, the sessions emphasized a spacious, reverb-laden sound to create cinematic sonic landscapes, with Norton encouraging the band to refine their performances iteratively. Recording engineer Alistair Clay handled the core tracking, while Steve Haigler oversaw mixing, supported by assistant engineers such as Gregg Barrett, Jack Benson, and Moses Schneider. The core Pixies lineup—Black Francis (vocals and guitar), Kim Deal (bass), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), and David Lovering (drums)—formed the foundation, with additional contributions integrated during overdubs. A notable production challenge involved incorporating the , an electronic instrument suggested by Norton to evoke the song's otherworldly, sci-fi-inspired theme. Played by Robert F. Brunner, who was sourced through the musicians' union and noted for his perfect pitch, the theremin was added post-initial band tracking as an overdub to enhance the track's ethereal quality without disrupting the core . Brunner, who had previously performed on the theme for the TV series , brought precision to the instrument's notoriously difficult non-contact interface. This addition aligned with Norton's vision for selective embellishments, keeping the overall production lean compared to prior albums.

Filming took place in a disused outside , , chosen to create a low-budget visual that captured a barren, otherworldly atmosphere aligning with the track's sci-fi inspirations. The production was intentionally simple and economical; the band members ran toward the camera in a single take, with the short footage slowed down and looped to match the song's three-and-a-half-minute length, while they lip-synced on rocks and amid the quarry's rocky terrain. The video's visual style is surreal and abstract, evoking a desert-like expanse through the quarry's stark, eroded landscape, with no linear narrative or additional elements beyond the band's repetitive motion and minimalistic framing. Originally conceived as an animated manga-style clip to reflect the song's themes, the final version prioritized the raw, unpolished running sequence, edited on-site with the band present.
